“A vote for Remain is a vote for prosperity and progress for Britain’s cities”.

On Monday the paper ran a front page editorial urging “Everyone to vote LEAVE” in next Thursday’s poll.
The only thing that the Leave campaign say when confronted with the massed opinions of the economic establishment, political leaders, global bodies, trade unions, NHS leaders and just about everybody else is that their opinions are simply wrong or that they are indulging in “scaremongering” – if so, it is the best and most highly organised conspiracy in the history of man.
The Conservative MPs claim that if the United Kingdom stays in the EU it “is set to pay out between £7bn and £43bn by 2021 in tax refunds to big businesses which have successfully used the European Court and EU law to escape taxes lawfully imposed on them in Britain”.
The findings are a body blow to David Cameron, George Osborne and the Labour Party, all of whom were hoping they could regain the initiative this week after a series of polls showing “Brexit” could become a reality.
Remember the panic that set in at No 10 during the Scottish referendum when one poll put the Independence campaigners ahead with just 11 days to go?
Similarly, the group said it is worth looking beyond headline figures on Brexit in order to get a clearer picture on the true feelings of the public towards a possible United Kingdom exit from the EU.
The same pollster found the Leave campaign had a one-point lead over the Remain side in a different poll published on Saturday. “It is simply not worth the risk”.
Chief executive Matthew Elliott said: “These are desperate times for the In campaign – recycling a declaration of support that was first made in February and then repeated again in April”. We can take back control of our borders and have an immigration policy that does not discriminate against people.
“Outside the European Union we can become richer, safer and free at long last to forge our own destiny – as America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other great democracies already do”, the newspaper said.
“The sharp warning of a recession caused by the shock and instability of quitting Europe is serious and realistic”, the former Labour leader will say. They are still unable to say what relationship they wish to see with the single market, post Brexit, and how they could push through dozens of trade deals before the United Kingdom was out in the cold.

Figures including Justice Secretary Michael Gove and former Mayor of London Boris Johnson are adamant that the funding received by people and groups today from the European Union is “safe”. “Working class people will be hit hardest”.
